Geraldo Perdomo 2026 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: Lightning Won't Strike Twice for the Year's Biggest Regression Candidate
Geraldo Perdomo hit .290/.389/.462 with 20 homers and 27 steals in 720 plate appearances in 2025. The slick-fielding 26-year-old shortstop isn't known for his bat. The difference between 2025 and prior seasons was a 23.3 LD% (20.9 career) that inflated Perdomo's BABIP to .303, and a 9.9 percent HR/FB (6 percent career) that wasn't supported by his contact quality. Perdomo doubled his rate of Brls/BBE from 3.1 percent in 2024 to 6.2 percent last season, but it was still below average. His max exit velocity was better in 2024 (109.8 mph vs. 108.2), while his average airborne exit velocity was virtually unchanged (89.7 mph in 2024, 90.3 last season). His plate discipline was excellent as his 13.1 BB% exceeded his 11.5 K%, and both metrics were supported by Perdomo's chase rate (19.3 percent) and SwStr% (4 percent). However, all of those numbers are within Perdomo's career norms. Perdomo's 79.86 ADP assumes a repeat, but his .279 xBA and .418 xSLG provide a more reasonable expectation of his 2026 performance. Don't pay for a fluke LD% and inflated HR/FB.
